Makes me want a horse again...

There's now a horse trailer sitting in my driveway.

It's not ours. It was given to our neighbors from someone who just wanted it "off their land". I'm sure you've seen pastures where a trailer sits for centuries, camouflaged by weeds and rust... I think that was the case here. So our neighbors took it hoping to sell it. Of course then they talked with Hubby and they all decided that if the rust-eaten holes were patched and it had a new paint job, it could be sold for considerably more. So begins the next project. In the pic below it had wound up in our driveway (as all projects do!), and you can see some of the areas that had to be patched and filled, sanded, primered, etc, etc.

Tonight comes the primering of the whole thing and then paint. Oh, and new windows. And then rewiring the lights. Luckily it has a good solid floor though, and rubber floor mats included (a lot of times the mats are an extra cost).

When rough sanding the outside of the trainer they found that the first person who painted it obviously had a sense of humor... painted on the doors of the tail-end of the trailer:

What You See
Is What You Is

Too bad they'll be covering that up... oh sure there are parts of Texas where it would sell (in fact faster with it on there!) but around our area of town with the high-brow Southlake/Northlake/Westlake equestrian snobs they wouldn't want something like that written on their trailer! These are people who think the cartoons in The New Yorker are funny. No sense of humor at all...

Anyway, hope the trailer will be sold this weekend.
